Some agricultural societies that we have
heard of fail to appreciate the value of the
press in general, and the local press in par
ticular. 1t cannot harm any managers to
read the following, which Michigan agri-
cultural society places upon the compliment
tary tickets which it issues to newspaper
men:
''This ticket has probably been paid for a
dozen times over by the paper to which it
it is issued. 1t will be honored in the hands
of any man, woman or child, white or black
red or yellow, who favors the society by
presenting it. 1t is good for entrance and
grand stand, and the bearer, if driving,
will be entitled to pass team free. The
association recognizes the fact that its
splendid success is owing largely, if not
wholly, to the notices so freely given it by
the press, and while we cannot render an
equivalent in cash, we return our grateful
thanks

Western Life for Women aud children
and for n Poor NInn.

A friend Of ours from the West came to
visit us, bringing his wife and their Kan
sas- born children with them The children
had hardly got inside the house before they
asked if we had a brook. We could not
understand such an inquiry until their faith
er explained that the children had never
seen "A small brook or rivulet before coming
East, and they were just wild TO be near
one. Small stones or pebbles were new 10
them, and wherever they went flowers were
no attraction if stones were 10 be had. We
had a splendid clear, pebbly brook Just
back Of the garden and they were happy
there all day and picked up half bushel
of pebbles to carry home. They were al
lowed to carry a part of them to Kansas
generous lot, we thought, as all extra
baggage was paid for by weight Their
father BECAME boy again with them and
built dam, made waterwheels and sailed
paper boats for their amusement. In the
West there are no brooks on the prairies /;
but there are creeks, which are sluggish,
muddy streams, home for snakes and
other uncanny things, and no child would
go there TO play. Another want in the
West is good butter. Where family lives
in house with but one or two rooms, and
no cellar or ice, and no water except in a
or make eatable butter Most western peo-
pie are fond of drinking buttermilk and
sour milk, being used to it, My friend said
when milk was wanted for baby or sick
person the only way TO be sure that it was
fit for them was to go out and milk a COW
any one that was handy, without regard
to ownership. Another want is society.
There is no calling upon a neighbor for
chat, when the nearest may be six or ten
miles away, and Dutch or Norwegian at
that. Such an isolated life is not good for
women or children. The settler intends to
build house and to make improvements,
but he must have machinery for the farm
or he cannot raise paying crops and such
things, and the hired help take the money
faster oftentimes than it is produced, and
when once a man gets in debt he is badly
off. A poor man has more resources for
getting living in New England than in
any other place under the sun. With all
our manufactures and various industries
he must be a shiftless man indeed who
with average health, cannot make n good
living here, and that is all any one is sure
of. We hear a great deal about going
West, buying farm and being indepen-
dent, but there is a long, hard road to be
Travelled first, and the Spectator in lands
has no mercy. When he once gets a man
in his power he will grind him to powder.
l wonder so many of the small incidents of
daily life are never mentioned by western
writers. The want of water and cellars.
and i'll most places a garden and lots of
such things, 20 far to make up life of dis
comfort WE.

Accompanying the above was personal
note, from which we give an extract and
remark that the published letters from the
West, coming as they do mostly from those
Interested to induce immigration, will not
of course give the points which would de
ter people from going there. They tell the
best side and leave the rest for the settler
to find out which he often does to his great
disappointment and disgust. The following

All respectable papers commend the man
ayers of the Vermont state fair for their
promise TO exclude from the grounds all
games Of chance, gambling of every ma
ture and form, and ale, beer, wine and all
kinds of Intoxicating liquors The New
England Farmer says "This is an excel
lent move and must be an easy regulation
to enforce at fair where the grounds
have been so free from such blemishes as
have the grounds of the Vermont society
in years past. Still, there has been too
much drinking and gaming if there has
been any. We hope this year there will be
neither. 1t begins to look as if only those
societies will receive public patronage
whose managers keep such evils from their
premises The world is growing better"

a bushel OF corn fed TO strong healthy
shotes up to $50 pounds weight ought t.

Of corn, and only careful feeders, we be.
lieve, can get as much as IA pounds. II

Of the pork here, or rather Of the feed to

A Novel Question.

Mitchell ii. Chase was before the Munich
pal Court few weeks since, on charge of
assault upon boy by striking him with a
whip. He was convicted and fined $40 and
costs, and appealed from the sentence in due
form of law. He has now brought petition
for mandamus against Judge Gould and Re-
corder Dyer, praying the Supreme Court to
order correction Of the record of the SUI
preme Court. The record is that Chase
wanted hearing, but Chase claims that he
demanded bearing, and did not waive it,
but that he was sentenced without hearing,
or waving one. The hearing is to be before
Judge Walton tomorrow morning. The
questions are very interesting and import
ant; being whether the Supreme Court can
compel the judge of an inferior court to
change the record of the proceedings from
that which the Judge orders made, and
whether the Recorder has any other duty
than to record what the Judge orders.

ScuIIers.

One of the finest and most valuable boats
ever built in this country was brought to
Boston one day last week by M. f. Davis of
Portland, from his factory in this city, lis
intended for the fair of the Church of the
Sacred Heart in East Boston. The craft is
81 feet long, III inches beam, q inches deep
amldships, p inches forward and IL inches
at the stern. 1t is built on conference.-the
circles, and is stronger and more durable
than any boat of its kind ever made in this
country. 1t has all of the Davis aids to
sculling. including several not yet used pub
licly. One feature of it is its great strength,
as compared with boats at present in use.
The planking is covered inside with fabric
which is cemented to the skin, making the
boat much sitter and with fourfold greater
resistance to pressure from outside than
boats built of the plain cedar. This makes
the liability of damage to the boat many
times less than under the old form of con-
struction. 1t is excellent for all-round work.
Speaking Of the Gaudaur- Teemer race,
Davis thinks it will be a splendid race. A
report to the Sunday Herald says: From
Portland it is learned that Gaudaur looks
heavy, and in fact is 10 or IL pounds over
weight. Those who have seen him say that
he does not look bright and confident as
Teemer does, but that there is yet sufficient
zine to pull off what superfuous weight he
wv Tee is training him, and

Children often suffer greatly from impure blood
until good medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla is
taken to expel impurities and give vitality. Par
ents should read the following statement.
II think it my duty to tell how much good
Hoods Sarsaparilla did my little girl She was
from birth puny, pale and sickly, and did not gain
strength as she grew older. Even when years
of age she could not stand alone. She ate hardly
anything, and seemed to be weak constitutonalIy
but was doubtless kept back by impure blood.
which caused her much discomfort and suffering.
She had scald-head terribly, her head being coy
cred with one sore. One day / read in Hoods
Item OF remarkable cure of a child by Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and decided to try this medicine
TO say that was astonished at the effect the first
bottle had upon her, would be a mild way
OF expressing my feelings. Her appetite began to
pick up, and soon we could hardly give her enough
to eat. She also gained strength, could stand
Alone and the sore on her head began to grow less
